Table 56. PowerAllocationSettingData
Property Description
ElementName 
The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition, the user-friendly name 
can be used as an index property for a search or query.
NOTE: The name does not have to be unique within a namespace.
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely 
identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value 
of InstanceID should be constructed using the following preferred algorithm:
<OrgID> : <LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must 
include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the 
business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned 
to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the 
<Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure 
uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon 
to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID> . <LocalID> is chosen 
by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) 
elements. If the above 
preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that 
the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other 
providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the 
preferred 
algorithm must be used with the <OrgID>set to CIM.
Limit
This property specifies the upper bound, or maximum amount of resource that is granted 
for this allocation. For example, a system which supports memory paging may support 
setting the Limit of a Memory allocation below that of the VirtualQuantity, thus forcing 
paging to occur for this allocation.
PowerAllocationSettingPurpose
When power is consumed by or allocated to a ManagedSystemElement, there may be well-
known or meaningful levels of allocation or consumption for the ManagedSystemElement. 
The PowerAllocationSettingPurpose property may be used to identify the well known level 
or provide context for the interpretation of the other values of the 
PowerAllocationSettingData instance. A value of 
MaxConAuxiliary indicates that the 
instance provides information about the maximum power allocated or consumed by the 
ManagedSystemElement as currently configured, while the ManagedSystemElement is 
turned off and drawing auxiliary power. Note that an alternate name for auxiliary power is 
trickle power.
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other
• 2 = MaxConAuxiliary
• 3 = MinWhenOn — Indicates the instance provides information about the minimum 
value for power consumption for which a configuration of the ManagedSystemElement 
exists such that when it is powered on and operating in that configuration, the power 
consumption of the ManagedSystemElement is guaranteed not to exceed the specified 
amount.
• 4 = MaxAsConfigured — Indicates that the instance provides information about the 
maximum power that may be allocated to or consumed by the ManagedSystemElement 
as currently configured while powered on. The actual power consumed may be less.
• 5 = MaxIfAllHotPlug — Indicates that the instance provides information about the 
maximum power allocated or consumed by the ManagedSystemElement if all 
components that could be added to the ManagedSystemElement without requiring a 
power cycle of the ManagedSystemElement were added to the 
ManagedSystemElement.
• 6 = MaxIfAllColdPlug — Indicates that the instance provides information about the 
maximum power allocated or consumed by the ManagedSystemElement if all 
components that could be added to the ManagedSystemElement, including those that
